CountBricks New Aluminum Siding: Expert Residential Upgrade

James Miller
Head of Sales

Why Homeowners Are Choosing New Aluminum Siding in 2025

When your clients ask for a tough, low-maintenance exterior finish, new aluminum siding consistently rises to the top of the list. Today’s panels deliver modern curb appeal, robust weather resistance, and energy-saving coatings that outperform the vinyl products of the past. At CountBricks, we combine cutting-edge AI estimating tools with seasoned field crews to make aluminum siding replacement straightforward and budget friendly for every residential project.

The Advantages of Modern Aluminum Siding

Durability that Lasts • Aluminum resists cracking and warping, even in extreme temperature swings • Factory-baked finishes prevent fading for decades • Panels are pest-proof, reducing long-term maintenance

Energy Performance • High-reflectivity coatings bounce solar heat, lowering cooling costs • Optional insulated backers add R-value without thick walls • CountBricks can model energy savings in your AI estimate so you show exact ROI to homeowners

Sustainability • Aluminum is 100% recyclable and often manufactured with post-consumer content • Choosing metal siding keeps PVC out of landfills • CountBricks sourcing tools highlight mills with the highest recycled content

From Measurement to Final Invoice: The CountBricks Approach

1. Voice-Driven On-Site Capture

Our field app records every dimension you say aloud—eaves, window trims, corner posts—instantly converting speech into precise takeoff lines. No clipboards, no missed measurements.

2. AI Blueprint Takeoffs

If drawings are available, simply upload the PDF. CountBricks AI traces elevations, calculates panel runs, and identifies accessory pieces in minutes. You receive a color-coded takeoff you can send to the homeowner for full transparency.

3. Real-Time Material Pricing

As supply costs fluctuate, so do siding budgets. CountBricks links directly with leading distributors, refreshing aluminum panel and trim prices daily. Your proposal always reflects current market rates—not last month’s catalog.

4. Instant Labor Calculations

CountBricks’ residential production database benchmarks crew output across thousands of installs. Our AI adjusts labor hours for wall height, obstacle density, and story count, giving you an honest schedule your crew can hit.

5. Branded Quote Docs in Seconds

Once material and labor numbers are locked, CountBricks auto-generates a homeowner-ready PDF with scope, timeline, and warranty terms. Add your logo, choose payment milestones, and hit send.

Cost Factors Every Contractor Should Explain

Panel Gauge • Thicker .032 panels cost more but handle hail better • Budget-minded owners may prefer .027 gauge with strategic reinforcement

Finish Options • Premium PVDF coatings add 10-15% but extend fade warranties to 35 years • Textured wood-grain embossing costs slightly more than smooth

Wall Complexity • Gables, bump-outs, and bay windows increase waste • CountBricks AI flags high-waste zones so you can order extra material proactively

Removal of Existing Cladding • Tear-off labor and disposal fees vary by siding type • Our estimates list haul-away costs line by line to avoid surprises

Does aluminum dent easily? • Modern tempering reduces dent risk; .032 gauge panels withstand normal yard impacts.
